#LivePeabody

ABOUT US

Peabody Main Streets works to cultivate a downtown that is a desirable place to live, an enjoyable place to visit and a supportive place to build a profitable business.​

OUR HISTORY

We are named after George Peabody, known as the father of modern philanthropy and a champion of working class people. ​Legend has it he was the inspiration for Scrooge in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.

A CULTURAL HUB​

In Peabody, we share pride in our beginnings as a farming community, followed by our growth as an industrial center of New England’s leather industry and now in our evolution as a driving force of the region’s economy in the 21st century.
